The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GM5 is a very compact mirrorless camera that takes crisp photos, but you have to be able to live with smaller controls.

There's no doubt that the Canon EOS M3 is a major improvement over its previous generation of mirrorless cameras.
The Canon EOS 5DS R is an excellent camera for studio and landscape photographers, delivering 50-MP resolution and finely detailed images.
A full feature-set and solid performance — from autofocus to continuous shooting — are only some of the D7200's strong points.
There's strong competition at this price level, and the X-A2's features seem dated (no 1080/60p video, for example, let alone 4K).
The K-S2 offers several appealing features, including weatherproofing and sensor-shift image stabilization, but its video quality falls short.
Excellent image quality, a full range of features that will satisfy enthusiasts (and help DSLR newcomers learn new skills) and convenient updates such as a touch-screen LCD make the D5500 a solid day-to-day camera.
The E-M5 Mark II is one of the best cameras for candid shooting, and certainly the smallest, as long as the lighting is good.
If shooting high-end video is part of your repertoire, Canon is a better way to go (or Samsung or Panasonic, if you want 4K). But for quality still photography, no other camera offers so much capability in so small a package.
If the a51000 were a larger camera, I might ding it for the lack of features such as an accessory shoe or extra physical controls.
Physics is still a hard thing to beat. We still haven't found a camera with a 1-inch sensor that matches the performance of mainstream DSLRs and mirrorless cameras with sensors three times as large.
You can't really fault Canon for not changing up much in the beginner-friendly Rebel series over the years.
The Alpha a7 is an exceptional performer you can take anywhere, producing very sharp images with excellent detail and accurate color.
The D5300 offers a few performance improvements over the D5200. It also adds some compelling features that competing products like the Canon T5i don't have, such as 1080p/60 fps video capture and built-in GPS and Wi-Fi.
The fact that you can buy a 24.3-megapixel DSLR (with a decent lens) for $650 shows how competitive the digital camera market has gotten recently.
